'n 1her,oplastics, it is possible to have sub-,aterials. 1hese sub-,aterials are
usually ,asterbatches or concentrates (basic poly,ers with colorants)pig,ents,
fla,e retardants, etc.!. Sub-,aterials are nor,ally used in ,aterials in a,ounts
of / to =7. Conse8uently, the substances contained in these types of sub-
,aterials are typically diluted in the top-level ,aterial to a level of ..= to 47. 'f a
ther,oplastic ,aterial consists of sub-,aterials, any restrictions concerning the
substance ranges and su, of wildcards and confidential substances do not apply
to the sub-,aterials, but are calculated with regard to the top,ost ,aterial level
